red jacket
with her
favorite
90's song
on the back
he wore it in a
picture
and when
she
said
that she
liked
the
song
he wore
it again
the
next day
black
olive
brown
was her favorite combination
on him
and when she wore
olive
brown
black
she wondered if he noticed
her
the way
she noticed
him
even though
she might need a
translation
when he speaks
it's the things
he doesn't say
that make
him
her
aesthetic
so pleasing
so calming
so safe
so protected
his deep voice
how he sometimes mumbles
his laugh
how it fills the room
his cool stare
how she never knows what he's thinking
she thinks about him too
much now
she has to let him
go now
she has to focus
now
she needs to say goodbye
she doesn't deserve someone
like him
because she is ugly and messed up
she can't be (aesthetically) pleasing
to him
there is no way
she is ugly
her skin is dry
she is weak
she's dirty
she smells like zinc
she's below him
he is aesthetic
she is repulsive
